There are reports of abortions in cattle, but these are very rare compared to the reported incidence in sheep. The bacterium is transmitted oro-nasally and can establish a sub-clinical infection until pregnancy, when it can invade the placenta and induce an inflammatory cascade leading to placentitis and abortion. Early host-pathogen interactions could explain differential pathogenesis and subsequent disease outcome in ruminant species. In this study, we assessed the ability of sheep and cattle oro-nasal turbinate cells to sense and respond to C. abortus infection. The cells expressed toll like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD) 1 and NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) mrna. In response to C. abortus infection, both ovine and bovine turbinate cells produce CXCL8 mrna and protein, late in the bacterial developmental cycle, but do not produce IL-1β or TNF-α. The UV-inactivated bacteria did not elicit a CXCL8 response, suggesting that intracellular multiplication of the bacteria is important for activating the signaling pathways. The production of innate immune cytokines from cattle and sheep turbinate cells in response to C. abortus infection was found to be largely similar.
3 Keywords Chlamydia abortus; Innate immunity; Pattern recognition receptors; Inflammation; Ruminant Introduction Chlamydia abortus is a major infectious cause of ovine abortion worldwide (excluding Australia and New Zealand). The bacteria can also cause abortion in goats, but interestingly, is rarely linked to abortion in cattle even though cattle are susceptible to infection (Animal and Plant Health Agency (AHPA), 2014; Longbottom and Coulter, 2003). C. abortus is transmitted oro-nasally and can infect the ewe at any time, persisting subclinically (site unknown) until late stage gestation when abortion facilitates the shedding of the bacteria for propagation of the infection cycle. Once a ewe has aborted due to C. abortus it does not abort again with reinfection indicative of the development of protective immunity (Rocchi et al., 2009) During late-stage gestation, C. abortus recrudesces from its persistent state and invades the placenta inducing an inflammatory cascade typified by the infiltration of immune cells and production of TNF-α and CXCL8 (Kerr et al., 2005; Wheelhouse et al., 2009). To date, the strongest known single immunological correlate of protection to C. abortus is the production of IFN-γ; however the ovine cellular source of IFN-γ and the innate immune mediators involved have yet to be elucidated (Entrican et al., 2010). Generally, the current understanding of innate and adaptive immune responses in small ruminants is relatively poor due to lack of specific immunological tools (Entrican and Lunney, 2012). The study of C. abortus in both small and large ruminants should therefore inform on pathogen-host co-evolution, thereby highlighting potentially important differences in immune recognition which contribute to pathological outcomes The genus Chlamydia currently comprises 12 species (Sachse et al., 2014; Vorimore et al., 2013) that share a characteristic biphasic developmental cycle, which involves extracellular and intracellular forms. The infectious elementary body (EB) is internalized by the host cell and induces the formation of an intracellular vacuole that allows transformation into the metabolically active reticulate bodies (RB), which multiply by binary fission (Abdelrahman and Belland, 2005). Consequently, both intracellular and extracellular pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) are likely to be important for the detection of the bacteria by the host cell. A number of studies in mice and humans have highlighted the importance of TLR2 and TLR4 found on the host cell surface and intracellular NLRP3 and NOD1 for the activation of signaling pathways and release of pro-
4 inflammatory chemokines and cytokines in response to chlamydial infection (Rusconi and Greub, 2011; Shimada et al., 2012). In particular, CXCL8, TNF-α and IL-1β have been identified as important innate immune cytokines produced in response to chlamydial infection (Rusconi and Greub, 2011) Turbinate cells are components of the oral-nasal mucosa, which forms one of the first barriers of immune defense to pathogens. Therefore, the role of cattle and sheep turbinate cells to detect and activate the innate immune response to C. abortus infection was investigated. The expression profiles of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) by ovine and bovine turbinate cells and their production of innate immune chemokines and cytokines in response to C. abortus infection was assessed Materials and methods Propogation of C. abortus stocks C. abortus strain S26/3 was isolated at the Moredun Research Institute (MRI) and grown and titrated in HeLa cells, as previously described (Graham et al., 1995). Harvested bacteria were re-suspended in sucrosephosphate-glutamate (SPG) (sucrose based medium containing FBS, antibiotics and fungicides) for storage at - 80 C Cell culture and infection Ruminant turbinate cells were generated at post-mortem by harvesting foetal turbinate tissues, which were then trypsinised to make a single cell suspension and cultured as previously reported (McClurkin et al., 1974) in order to create frozen cell banks. The primary cell lines used in this study represent different passages of cattle and sheep turbinate cells that were initially derived from the same fetal bovine or fetal ovine sources, respectively. These cells were screened and shown to be negative for pestivirus. After resuscitation, cells were adjusted to 1 x 10 5 /ml and grown to sub-confluence by adding 1ml/well in 24 well plates (Corning Costar, High Wycombe, UK) or 500ul/well in 8-well chamber slides (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark). The culture medium consisted of Iscove s Modified Dulbecco s Medium (IMDM, Life Technologies, Paisley, UK) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal calf serum (PAA, Hanniger, Austria). As for the cell lines, the fetal calf serum was tested for live pestivirus and shown to be negative. The cells were then challenged with live C. abortus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10, with UV inactivated C. abortus (equivalent to MOI 10) and medium only.
5 UV treatment was shown to be effective at killing the bacteria as UV-inactivated C. abortus failed to form inclusions in HeLa cells (data not shown). Supernatants and lysates were harvested at 24, 48 and 72 hours from separate wells. The experiments were repeated on three separate occasions Immunofluorescence Slides were fixed in cold 90% acetone 10% methanol and stored at -20 C. Slides were rehydrated in PBS prior to the addition of Image-iT FX signal enhancer (Life Technologies) for 30 minutes in a humidity chamber protected from light. The slides were washed and then incubated with 1:1000 anti-c. abortus MOMP mouse monoclonal antibody (mab) (4/11) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany) for 30 minutes. After washing the slides three times, the Alexafluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) secondary polyclonal antibody (pab) (Life Technologies) was added at 1:2000 for 30 minutes. The slides were washed three more times before mounting with ProLong Gold anti-fade reagent containing DAPI (Life Technologies) Total RNA extraction and cdna preparation Cell lysates were harvested and stored in RLT lysis buffer at -80 C before total RNA was extracted using the RNAeasy plus mini kit (Qiagen, Crawley, UK), following the manufacturer s instructions. The concentration of RNA was determined using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermofisher Scientific, Rochester, NY, USA) and 1µg reverse transcribed into cdna using Taqman Reverse Transcription Reagents (Life Technologies). Reverse transcriptase was omitted from the process for the production of negative controls. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stimulated with Concanavalin A (Con A; ICN Biochemical, Cleveland, OH, USA) at 5µg/ml for 24 hours to generate cdna to be used as positive controls Standard PCR Primers were designed using primer 3 ( and details are shown in Table 1. PCR cycling conditions were 95 C for 5 minutes, followed by 40 cycles of 95 C for 30 seconds, the appropriate annealing temperature for 30 seconds and 72 C for 1 minute and then a final extension of 72 C for 5 minutes. The cycle was finished with 5mins at 72 C. PCR products were run along with a 100bp ladder (New England Biolabs, Hitchin, UK) on a 1% agarose gel containing Gel Red TM (Biotum, Hayward, CA, USA) and visualized using UV light Taqman RT-PCR
6 Taqman RT-PCR was run using custom designed primers and probes for CXCL8. The commercially available eukaryotic 18s rrna endogenous control (VIC/TAMRA TM, Life Technologies), identified as the most stably expressed compared with GAPDH and β-actin, was used as the reference gene. The bovine CXCL8, TNF-α and IL-1β primers and FAM/TAMRA probes used were previously designed (Galvao et al., 2012; Leutenegger et al., 2000), as were the ovine IL-1β and TNF-α primers and FAM/TAMRA probes (Budhia et al., 2006). The ovine CXCL8 forward primer (5 -CACTGCGAAAATTCAGAAATCATTGTTA-3 ), reverse primer (5 - CTTCAAAAATGCCTGCACAACCTTC-3 ) and probe (FAM- CCAACGGAAAAGAGGTGTGCTTAGACCCC-TAMRA) were designed as part of this study using Primer Express (Life Technologies). Samples were analyzed in triplicate on an ABI prism 7000 machine (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) using the following cycling conditions; 50 C for 2 minutes, 95 C for 10 minutes and 40 cycles at 95 C for 15 seconds followed by 60 C for 1 minute. Gene expression was quantified using the comparative 2 -ΔΔCT method. Cells cultured without any exogenous stimulation in medium alone were harvested at each time point and used as a calibrator for all analyses of the treatment groups at that time point Cytokine ELISAs Cytokine sandwich ELISAs using commercial pairs of mouse anti-sheep mabs and rabbit anti-sheep pabs to CXCL8 and IL-1β (Bio-Rad AbD Serotec, Kidlington, UK), or rabbit anti-bovine pab and biotin conjugated pab to TNF-α (Thermoscientific, Cramlington, UK) were run as previously described (Rothel et al., 1998). Recombinant ovine CXCL8 expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (Wattegedera et al., 2004), recombinant bovine IL-1β (Bio-Rad AbD Serotec) and recombinant bovine TNF-α (Bio-Rad AbD Serotec) were used to generate standard curves. The ELISAs were cross-reactive between cattle and sheep (Caswell et al., 1998; Tahoun et al., 2015; Wheelhouse et al., 2009) and had the following sensitivities: CXCL8 15pg/ml; TNF-α 1.95ng/ml and IL-1β 60pg/ml Statistical analysis Data included the expression profiles of CXCL8 mrna and protein, and comprised three different passages of cell lines for each species (bovine and ovine) to which each level of treatment group (3 levels: live C. abortus, UV inactivated C. abortus and medium only) was applied and measured at three time points (24, 48 and 72 hours). The data on mrna were obtained by comparative 2 -ΔΔCT method by calibrating the expression for
7 medium control from each treatment group for each time point. Both mrna and protein data showed increased variability with increased mean; hence the data on mrna and protein were transformed by the logarithmic (after adding a constant value of 1) and square root transformation, respectively. The main effect of species, treatment group and time as well as possible two and three-way interaction effects were tested by univariate analysis of variance separately for the expression data of CXCL8 mrna and protein. The blocking structure included the following categorical variables: cell line and interactions of cell line by treatment group and cell line by time. The overall statistical significance of the interaction effect was assessed using the F- statistic. If the overall test was statistically significant (P<0.05), we obtained two-sided probabilities of comparisons of means of treatment groups at each time point. Finally, these probabilities were adjusted using a False Discovery Rate (FDR) approach (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995) to take into account the multiple comparisons of means so that the expected proportion of false positives among all positives (i.e. rejecting the null hypothesis) was less than 5% and we denoted the adjusted probabilities as P f. Statistical analyses were performed using GenStat (GenStat version 16.2) and R (R Core Team, version 3.1) Results and discussion Previous in vivo studies in sheep have demonstrated that C. abortus can induce abortion if inoculated over the tonsillar crypts (Jones and Anderson, 1988) and mucosal nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues prior to a subsequent pregnancy (Longbottom et al., 2013). This suggests that turbinate cells are an appropriate in vitro model for studying initial infection. Initially, the ability of ovine and bovine turbinate cells to sustain an active C. abortus infection was assessed. Challenge with live C. abortus resulted in the formation of large intracellular inclusions (Figure 1 A, D) at 72 hours post-infection. Inclusions were not visible after exposure to UVinactivated C. abortus however, visible fluorescent specks, an indication of dead bacteria, were present (Figure 1 B, E) which were not detected in the non-exposed controls (Figure 1 C, F) As turbinate cells are a component of the oro-nasal mucosa, they are likely to be important sentinels of the immune system. We observed that ruminant turbinate cells express NLRP3, NOD1, TLR2 and TLR4 (Figure 2); thus ruminant turbinate cells fit the sentinel role as a varied complement of PRRs would be beneficial in the detection of pathogens. The human nasal mucosa expresses TLR2, TLR4 (Vandermeer et al., 2004), NOD1 and
8 NLRP3 (Bogefors et al., 2010), and this is the first study to demonstrate that ruminant turbinate cells also express these receptors. As these cells express a range of PRRs, they have the potential to respond to both intracellular and extracellular stages of C. abortus infection and activate signaling pathways leading to the transcription of cytokines and chemokines The expression profiles of CXCL8, TNF-α and IL-1β mrna and protein in three treatment groups (live C. abortus, UV-inactivated C. abortus and medium only) were assessed at three time points (24, 48 and 72 h). There was no IL-1β mrna or protein detected at any time points nor any TNF-α protein. Although low mrna signal was detected in the TNF-α RT-PCR, it was around the threshold limit of detection for the assay. The absence of IL-1β and TNF-α mrna expression or protein production from ruminant turbinate cells is perhaps not too surprising as these cytokines are more commonly (but not exclusively) produced by myeloid cells, as has been shown for C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae infections (Rusconi and Greub, 2011) For the expression profile of CXCL8 mrna, the interaction effect of treatment group and time was statistically significant (P=0.006). The mean CXCL8 mrna expression, relative to the medium only group, in ovine and bovine turbinate cells for the live C. abortus group was significantly higher compared with the UVinactivated C. abortus group at 72 hours post infection (P f <0.001) (Figure 3A). The CXCL8 protein production mirrored the CXCL8 mrna profiles: the interaction effect of treatment group and time was statistically significant (P<0.001). The live C. abortus treatment group produced significantly higher mean CXCL8 protein compared with the UV-inactivated C. abortus treatment group at 72 hours post infection in both ovine (P f <0.001) and bovine (P f =0.028) turbinate cells (Figure 3B). The live C. abortus group also showed higher mean CXCL8 protein production compared with the medium only group at 72 hours post infection in both ovine (P f <0.001) and bovine (P f =0.022) turbinate cells CXCL8 is a pro-inflammatory chemokine which functions as a chemotactic factor driving the recruitment of immune cells including neutrophils. Neutrophils have been identified as potential carriers of C. pneumoniae, which may perpetuate the survival and dissemination of the bacteria (Rupp et al., 2009; Zandbergen G. et al., 2004). Therefore, the production of CXCL8 by ruminant turbinate cells may aid in the dissemination of C. abortus from the site of infection. The increased CXCL8 production, however, occurred only at 72 hours, which is late in the chlamydial developmental cycle (Longbottom and Coulter, 2003). Earlier
9 studies identified that the late production of CXCL8 is a feature of C. trachomatis infection of epithelial cells (Buchholz and Stephens, 2006; Rasmussen et al., 1997). Potential explanations on CXCL8 production at a later stage include: inhibition of production by C. abortus, the pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) threshold is not reached until the bacteria has multiplied or cell lysis is necessary for its production (Buchholz and Stephens, 2008; O'Connell et al., 2006) We did not find any statistical evidence of interaction effects between species and treatment group, and between species and time for the expression of mrna (P>0.12) and protein (P>0.77). These observations suggest that the production of CXCL8 from bovine and ovine turbinate cells on average had similar trends across treatment groups and time points. We also did not observe any evidence (P f >0.46) that the mean CXCL8 protein production differed between the medium only group and UV-inactivated C. abortus challenged group at any time point in either species (Figure 3). This implies that intracellular detection of the active infection is necessary for the stimulation of CXCL8 mrna expression. A previous study has also shown that CXCL8 production in ovine trophoblasts depends on challenge with live C. abortus compared to UV-inactivated C. abortus (Wheelhouse et al., 2009). Generally, pathogens are recognized by a range of PRRs which initiate a signal transduction cascade inducing activation of NF-κB and MAPK kinases and production of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines, including CXCL8 (Arthur and Ley, 2013). Previous studies have identified that the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways regulated the induction of CXCL8 production following chlamydial infection (Buchholz and Stephens, 2006; Buchholz and Stephens, 2008; Rasmussen et al., 1997; Welter-Stahl et al., 2006). TLR2, which co-localises intracellularly with the inclusion, activates CXCL8 production from epithelial cells challenged with C. trachomatis (O'Connell et al., 2006). Intracellular NOD 1 mediates production of CXCL8 in an epithelial cell line challenged with C. trachomatis (Buchholz and Stephens, 2008). Our results showed that ruminant turbinate cells express TLR2, TLR4 and NOD1 (Figure 2), which indicates that C. abortus may activate similar signaling pathways for the production of CXCL8 within turbinate cells Understanding how the early innate immune response activates a protective adaptive immune response is critical for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the delivery of new vaccines. In this study, we observed that C. abortus is capable of infecting oro-nasal turbinate cells from cattle and sheep. Both ovine and bovine cells responded similarly to C. abortus infection by production of CXCL8 late in the chlamydial
10 developmental cycle with undetectable levels of IL-1β and TNF-α. This suggests that innate cytokine and chemokine production by turbinate cells is not a discriminating factor for disease pathogenesis between cattle and sheep. 219 Conflicts of interest: BioRad AbD Serotec distributes and markets ruminant immunological reagents produced by The Moredun Research Institute and by The Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh.
